The edifice of the Yad Vashem Museum is built in the way that the
visitor can feel the atmosphere of those days. “Our approach is too
personal. We put the person, the personality in the center and we tell
everything through his eyes, mouth and feelings, “Avner Shalom, head
of the Jerusalem Yad Vashem Museum, said.

Over 40 representatives of many countries participated in the opening
ceremony of the museum that is rich in impressive photos and
exhibits. Moshe Katsav, President of Israel, and Sylvan Shalom,
foreign minister of Israel, welcomed the guests by the entrance of the
museum. Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, was among the guests, too.
